About the draft report

We propose that the importation of zoo bovids be allowed from approved countries. All imports must meet the agreed biosecurity import conditions.

The draft report details:

diseases of biosecurity concern for this commodity

risk assessments for the identified diseases of biosecurity concern

We identified twenty-six diseases in the hazard analysis for assessment. The draft report makes recommendations on risk management measures for those diseases where the risk is not managed by general zoo import conditions.

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
